Lamorinda is an area within Contra Costa County, California in the United States. The name is a portmanteau derived from the three cities that make up the region: Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda.[1]
Lamorinda is located east of the Berkeley Hills, between the Caldecott Tunnel and Walnut Creek. It is often referred to as the "Highway 24" corridor, referring to the state highway that is the primary thoroughfare in the region. Many residents commute west through the tunnel to San Francisco and Oakland or east to Walnut Creek and Concord.
As of 2010, the three cities had a combined population of 57,552, with Lafayette having the largest population and Moraga the smallest.
